Lily Allen to perform at the Concert For Diana

Other exciting artists on the thrilling bill: Rod Stewart and Natasha Bedingfield. Elsewhere, Keith Richards imagines waking from a coma after 20 years, and a surprise writing credit on the Arctic Monkeys new disc

The Sun's Victoria Newton had an actual scoop this morning: Lily Allen will perform at this summer's Concert For Diana. Which, if you think about it, makes total sense. Like the late princess, Allen has a certain enviable refined quality. She also knows how to enjoy the finer things in life, such as Benson & Hedges cigarettes. Not forgetting that both love nothing more than putting together a good mix-tape. And the thought must have struck you too, when witnessing Allen perform Nan, You're a Window Shopper (the B-side to her single LDN) live on stage, that if the People's Princess was with us today, this is the kind of tune she'd really be feeling. Also appearing on the bill, predicted by Newton but now confirmed by Diana executives, are Kanye West, Rod Stewart and Natasha Bedingfield. Wow, they'll be queueing round the corner! For Live Earth...

"People walking round in circles, trying to get a signal, laptops in planes..." The state of the modern world is apparently plaguing Keith Richards, based on recent remarks he made to Rolling Stone magazine. "If you'd gone into a coma 20 years ago and you woke up today and saw people talking on cell phones in cars, you'd think the world had gone mad," he said. Sounds like the words of a man who's spent too much time with a rolled-up tenner, an urn and the director's cut of K-PAX starring Kevin Spacey.

According to Mr Hot Joe Mott of the Daily Star, Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner has given his ex-girlfriend Johanna Bennett credit on a track from the band's current album, Favourite Worst Nightmare. Bennett's is named as co-writer on Fluorescent Adolescent, tipped as a future number one single by Mott himself. The Hot journo also reports that this isn't just a conciliatory gesture on Turner's behalf, because the single credit could result in royalty cheques arriving through Bennet's letterbox for all eternity. What a gent.
